ABB HSSH-C40 miniature circuit breaker with 40 A current rating and Type C tripping characteristic for reliable overload and short circuit protection in electrical distribution systems.
£18.45
The ABB HSSH-C40 is a reliable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in domestic, commercial and light industrial installations. As part of ABB’s trusted circuit protection range, it provides dependable disconnection performance and robust protection for distribution boards and connected electrical equipment.
This circuit breaker is built for straightforward installation and long-term operational reliability. Its compact DIN rail mounted design makes it suitable for consumer units, control panels and distribution enclosures where space-efficient protection is required.
With a 40 A current rating and a Type C tripping characteristic, the ABB HSSH-C40 is well suited to circuits with moderate inrush currents, including small motors, lighting groups, socket circuits and general power distribution applications.
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current or short circuit conditions occur. This helps reduce the risk of cable overheating, equipment damage and electrical faults within an installation.
The Type C characteristic of the ABB HSSH-C40 makes it suitable for circuits where short-duration starting currents may occur, while still providing reliable protection under fault conditions. This makes it a practical choice for general distribution boards, control panels and mixed-load electrical circuits.
